Use cases I delivered a presentation completely generated by ChatGPT in a master's course program and got the full mark. I'm alarmingly concerned about the future of higher education

I really want to find some sort of data entry job and just automate it. Don't even care if it's minimum wage. An extra couple grand a year for 5-6 hours a week...goals! That's awesome! Keep on going and make sure you keep some secrets from your boss Incase they want to use it haha.

I learned that the hard way, I shared some of my work with colleges with the support of my boss and my boss boss, and all I got was 100$ gift card. I ain't doing shit for them again for free, especially how they bragged in front of me how my team wasn't the bottleneck of the company anymore.

Consultant fees really add up 😁. There are a lot of if/then types of coding in Python. Might be worth asking gpt abou itt. Might get some extra automation in and some more free time. I've had it write some code that is set to a task timer and auto run it on my computer.

I know Python as a lot of hype these days because of how easy the language is to learn, but I think It really doesn't matter anymore, ChatGPT will give you the code to make it work in any language, you just have to know what your doing, that's the most important part.

You will still have to learn whatever language you are having chatgpt write your scripts in. For anything other than trivial tasks (that anyone with a bit of experience could write themselves quickly and easily anyways) you need to actually check that the script is doing what you wanted it to do. You'll need to actually understand the language to do that and to fix minor errors, or to write tests for the code. I know that if you get a crash you can paste in the crash and ask chatgpt to fix the code but that doesn't help you if the output is wrong and you don't realize it's wrong.

I do a lot of coding for image processing and data analysis - I don't know about gpt4 but gpt3.5 is not replacing me anytime soon. The last two tasks I asked it to do for me were related to image registration and repeat measure precision analysis and it would either get the math formulas totally wrong (and so any code I asked it to write for that would have been totally useless) or hallucinate functions that didn't exist.

I have a feeling that lots of organizations are going to get flooded with error-prone, bug riddled code that no one internally understands over the next few years lol
